citrons
Fragrant ceremonial fruits
Citrons are large, thick-skinned citrus fruits, less juicy than lemons but prized for their aromatic rind.
The candied peel appears in fruitcakes and other baked goods.
Citron also refers to a pale greenish-yellow color resembling the fruit's flesh.
In some regions, citron names a type of watermelon grown for preserves rather than fresh eating.
